In his eighth 2013 NFL mock draft below, Vinnie Iyer makes a big change at the top. In the draft preview edition of Sporting News' Huddle Up podcast, Iyer and co-host Bill Bender welcome Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting to break down the first round and talk sleepers and busts across the board. Download and listen here:

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan

Fisher and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel are neck and neck to be the first overall pick. Both have the size and athleticism, but look for the Chiefs to pull off a mild surprise by preferring the taller Fisher.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars

Dion Jordan, DE/OLB Oregon

The Jaguars need to get their pass rush cranked up for energetic, defensive-minded coach Gus Bradley. Bradley, the former Seahawks coordinator under Pete Carroll, can tap back into the Pacific Northwest and Pac-12 to take Jordan, who has rare ability coming off the edge.

3. Oakland Raiders

Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida

Floyd is the strongest 4-3 defensive tackle prospect in this class, an ideal fit for coach Dennis Allen's version of the scheme. The Raiders are overhauling their front four with Richard Seymour, Desmond Bryant and Tommy Kelly all gone.

4. Philadelphia Eagles

Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia

We're sticking with the stance that Chip Kelly isn't really sold on any of his current Eagles quarterbacks, whether it's Michael Vick, Nick Foles or old Oregon pupil Dennis Dixon. Kelly can go in many directions with his first Philly draft, but he should want to start with a hand-picked passing prospect.

5. Detroit Lions

Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M

The Lions should be thrilled if either Fisher or Joeckel drops to them. With Jordan off the board, it will be easy for them to address the edge of their offense instead.

6. Cleveland Browns

Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama

The Browns love Milliner, and with multiple needs on defense, go for the most solid option. Milliner looks the part of a solid all-around cover man who can consistently make plays on the ball.

7. Arizona Cardinals

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma

The Cardinals could use an athletic left tackle of Johnson's caliber, but given everyone knows that, don't be surprised if some team moves ahead of them to take him. If that's the case, the second quarterback would get strong consideration.

8. Buffalo Bills

Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB, BYU

The Bills need a quarterback, and let's see if they have the patience to wait on their favorite guy, Syracuse's Ryan Nassib, until early in Round 2. They also need to revamp their pass rush as they make the transition to 3-4 and opt for Ansah, who has a freakish—though a bit raw—skill set.

9. New York Jets

Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU

After Jordan and Ansah, Mingo is the most exciting edge rush prospect. It will be up to aggressive Jets coach Rex Ryan to get Mingo's motor restarted to be a versatile, productive player in his brand of 3-4.

10. Tennessee Titans

Chance Warmack, G, Alabama

The Titans could use pass defense help with a pass rusher or cover man, but if the value isn't there at those positions, they’ll point to the interior offensive line—another area that needs to be upgraded. There's nothing risky about taking Warmack to help better pave the way for Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene in the running game.

11. San Diego Chargers

Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina

The Chargers are candidates to go after Johnson, but the fact is they could use help throughout the offensive line. After the tackle trio and Warmack, Cooper is the next best lineman on the board.

12. Miami Dolphins

Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah

The Dolphins might be tempted to trade up for Johnson and may be more tempted to take a wide receiver. Lotulelei, however, is the safe stay-put option because he can play a versatile position on defense and fits the profile of succeeding within it.

13. New York Jets (from Tampa Bay)

Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State

With the Darrelle Revis trade finally completed, the Jets quickly find a replacement in the large (6-1 1/2, 210), physical Rhodes.

14. Carolina Panthers

Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri

Richardson fills the need for a strong 4-3 tackle to occupy blockers for ace linebacker Luke Kuechly. Wide receiver Tavon Austin also is a good option.

15. New Orleans Saints

Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia

Just like brother Rex, new Saints coordinator Rob Ryan is looking for an upfield pass rusher, and Jones is the fallback after Mingo.

16. St. Louis Rams

Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia

The Rams need more speedy playmakers for Sam Bradford on their home fast track, and Austin has the type of talent that would remind them of The Greatest Snow on Turf days.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

The Steelers need to replace the dangerous big-play ability of Mike Wallace, and Patterson can develop into that kind of player as a target for Ben Roethlisberger.

18. Dallas Cowboys

Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas

The Cowboys need a thumper to handle the critical safety responsibilities in their new 4-3, cover 2 base defense under Monte Kiffin. Kiffin would enjoy Vaccaro's abilities as a "slobberknocker."

19. New York Giants

Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State

The Giants have hit on pass rushers with an international flavor and need to restock their quiver at end. The German-born Werner would bring the desired pop.

20. Chicago Bears

Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia

Ogletree's speed, quickness, range and coverage ability will allow him to play either outside or inside in the NFL. The Bears obviously have a middle void after moving on from Brian Urlacher.

21. Cincinnati Bengals

D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama

The Bengals, frustrated in their negotiations with incumbent Crimson Tide tackle Andre Smith, can move on with a younger, sleeker model for the right side.

22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington)

Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama

Jeff Fisher comes away with the top wideout and top running back. Remember when Fisher had success with another workhorse Eddie (George)? Lacy would be a fine Steven Jackson successor.

23. Minnesota Vikings

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina

The Vikings have had good luck with defensive tackles named Williams (see Kevin, see Pat), and Sly is the right kind of guy for Leslie Frazier's front.

24. Indianapolis Colts

Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington

The Colts are dreaming big about getting Milliner to start at corner, but if they stay here, Trufant is a pretty darn good alternative.

25. Minnesota Vikings (from Seattle)

Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State

Brown, a versatile linebacker with the range to make plays, is used to wearing purple. He would be a nice complement to OLB Chad Greenway and S Harrison Smith.

26. Green Bay Packers

Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas Pine-Bluff

The Packers always seem to be in the market for an athletic tackle to better protect Aaron Rodgers. They can opt for the small-school player over the raw big-school player (Menelik Watson).

27. Houston Texans

Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame

We don't see the Texans tapping into the DeAndre Hopkins mess now. They still can get a difference-making, complementary receiver with the draft's best tight end.

28. Denver Broncos

Johnthan Banks, Mississippi State

With Champ Bailey in the twilight of his career, it's clear the Broncos need to line up help at corner. Banks is the next best option.

29. New England Patriots

D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston

The Patriots would be wise to go corner here. We’re just not sure if it will be Hayden or Boise State's Jamar Taylor.

30. Atlanta Falcons

Alex Okafor, DE, Texas

The Falcons are teasing us about making a big trade up again. But if they stay here, they will like what Okafor can offer as a pass-rushing end.

31. San Francisco 49ers

Margus Hunt, DE, SMU

The 49ers need to stash more youthful energy and explosiveness for their diverse 3-4 front, and Hunt's strength and athleticism will remind them a bit of Justin Smith.

32. Baltimore Ravens

Jonathan Cyprien, S, Florida International

After losing future Hall of Famer Ed Reed to the Texans, the Ravens can groom Cyprien as a replacement with a lot of potential.
